Problem solved... Telenet is also hosting some websites... Apparently the
machines weren't patched. Those machines had Port 80 open from the outside,
and also had access to the internal telenet network, so also to ports <1024.
Another thing I just realised... The Telenet customers don't represent a
hassle to the rest of the world. Their outgoing port 80 is locked too (very
restrictive isp, I must say, but in this case it's cool ;) ... they're
forced to use a proxy.
So their counter measures were only for protecting their own network.. Oh
well...
